Writing
Big Idea: Speech bubbles and temporal words/transitions
- Stretching out the details of our story in order
- Reviewing speech bubbles and how they can add to our story
- Temporal words and transitions
Reading
Big Idea: Finding the important part.
- Readers sometimes try and bring their stories to life. Often times they assign each other parts (character and narrator) and roles (director/ actors) to play as they read aloud their stories together to help each other capture the important events in the story.
- Good reader visualize and picture what's going on in the story in their head
